[Shards of Ice] Nozel Silva x Reader

9

Reader POV

I stared at everyone in the room.

"What's going on here?"

Wizard King Julius sighed. "It seems that the activity in the Spade Kingdom has increased. Our allies in the Diamond Kingdom have warned us that the Spade Kingdom will try invade."

Currently, Nozel and I were at a briefing. Now the other captains knew who I was.

"I don't get," Charlotte Roselei said. "If Miss (l/n) is from the Spade Kingdom, how can we trust her? No offense, but we need to make absolute sure."

"The Dark Triad killed my entire family and my friends. I vowed to avenge them."

"I believe that Miss (l/n) is sincere in wanting to help us," Fuegeleon and Dorthy spoke up.

"Let's see a demonstration of this magic," Rill said. "We need to assess how her magic works and how to make it work in our favor."

So there was a demonstration.

Out in the swirling cold we went.

"Remember to show them that magic you almost killed me with," Nozel said.

"Begin."

I activated my spirit dive and flew towards all nine squad captains.

"She's fast," Rill huffed as I sped past him.

I placed a hand on him as I flew by him and froze his arms, rendering him immobile.

"Tch. That's one shitty spell," Yami Sukehiro took a drag of his cigarette and threw the bud somewhere. "Dark Magic: Dark Blade!"

I barely had time to react. I quickly sent ice shards everywhere.

"It's the snow!" William Vengeance called to everyone.

Nozel came up from underneath me.

"Mercury Magic: Ball of Steel!"

I rolled my eyes. "Ice Magic: Blade of Nordicis."

His steel ball was cut in half.

"Nature Magic: Tree of Life!"

"Briar Magic: Roses of Aurora!"

From the ground, a huge tree with blue roses emerged and knocked me out of the sky.

I quickly recovered. "Ice Magic: Total Zero!" The spell cast itself to my opponents. "Ice Creation Magic: Snowflakes of Eira."

As the ice forms of the captains started to fall, they were caught by the snowflakes and were gently taken to the ground.

"Ice Magic: Cry of Eira."

"Ice Magic: Reverse Zero."

The ice melted and the captains were able to move again.

"How did you do that??" Dorthy Unsworth asked.

"I've noticed some things," Julius said. He picked up an ice shard. "It is white with a very beautiful light blue tint."

He called the end to the match.

"Based on my observations, her ice matches the color of her feelings. For example, when she was fighting Nozel the day he pissed her off, it was a deep shade of red. Dark blue is sadness."

"How about this one?" Charlotte picked up a slightly golden ice shard.

"That one means glory," I said.

"Interesting."

"Also, my ice has stronger force and accuracy in gold, red, black, and white."

"What is black ice?"

I looked at Fuegeleon with narrowed eyes.

"Hatred."

"Have you ever used it?" Jack asked.

I shook my head. "Only once. But it's too deadly for me to control."

"Was it Nozel who made you use it?" Julius asked.

I laughed sheepishly. "No, it was an old...friend."

...

"She totally beat your ass, don't lie!" Nebra cheered that night during dinnertime.

Nozel glared at his sister. "I never denied that she isn't strong."

"Why can't you just let me have my moment?"
Nebra grumbled.

I sweatdropped. "Nebra-"

"Nope! Let me get this in, damn it!" The silver-haired female motioned to Nozel and I. "I've never seen Nozel act this friendly with anyone! Especially one in a lower class! This is news!"

Solid placed his utensils down and joined his sister. "I agree! I think Nozel loooooves her."

My face became a huge blushing mess. It's been two weeks since I've arrived in this kingdom.

I wasn't stupid. Nozel was drop-dead handsome.

His overall attitude towards me has changed for the better and I often caught him staring at me whenever I was helping his siblings do something.

"You should totally bring (y/n) as your date to the ball!" Nebra's smirk became wider.

Nozel silenced everyone by standing up and glaring down at his sister who started to shake with fear.

The male glared at her. "Seriously, Nebra! Who do you think you are! I had already planned on asking her to accompany me! I swear to god-"

"HOLD ON!" The two shared huge smirks.

"IS MY OTP BECOMING CANNON?" Nebra squealed.

"NO!" Nozel shouted. "I only suggested it because no one else would make a big deal about it if it were some noblesse! Everyone would start to question if I asked some noble female to accompany me to my own birthday celebration."

"So they won't ask if it's (y/n)?"

"No. She's not of importance and no one would think twice about her."

Nebra and Solid went silent, looking at me.

At that moment, Nozel knew he fucked up.

"I'm not of importance?" I looked down, my (h/c) hair hiding my tearing eyes.

"(y/n)-"

I stormed out of the room, literally.  Red and deep blue ice shards rose from the ground in my wake.

Whenever I was overwhelmed with emotion, my magic would create a trail of ice behind me.

The door slammed behind me and I ran outside, tears falling from my eyes.

As usual, they instantly froze and shattered to the ground.

Meanwhile, Nozel and his siblings started to argue about how that just went down.
